Buy, Sell, Swap, And Low Speed Autocross at Mid America Motorworks Swapfest

Open to Corvettes, Air-Cooled VWs, Muscle Cars, Street Rods & Other Special Interest Cars, Too!

Mid America Motorworks will host its eighth bi-annual Swapfest on Saturday, October 13th, 2007. The swap meet will once again be held on the corporate campus in Effingham, Illinois, where automotive enthusiasts of every type have the chance to explore thousands of parts and memorabilia to buy, sell and swap, as well as meet other collectors. In addition, a "Car for Sale Corral" will be available for individuals who would like to sell their vehicles.

In conjunction with Swapfest, Mid America Motorworks is again hosting a Low Speed Autocross competition. This is a classed competition open to all car makes and models. Space is limited to the first 70 participants, on a first come first serve basis. The charge is $15 per vehicle for 3 timed runs. Tech inspections are from 8 a.m. -10 a.m.

"Swapfest is quickly becoming a 'must attend' event, especially with the newly added Low Speed Autocross Competition. Finding great bargains is just part of the reason. People really enjoy meeting and having fun with other automotive enthusiasts at Swapfest," said Mike Yager, the company’s Chief Cheerleader. "The addition of the Autocross this past spring was such a big hit, we decided to do it again this fall."

All items offered for sale must be automotive parts, accessories, or memorabilia for any type of enthusiast auto, whether Chevrolet, Ford, Mopar, Hot Rods, Street Rods or Muscle Cars, plus special emphasis on Corvettes and Classic Volkswagens. To keep the real swap meet feel, only used parts are allowed. There is no charge to attend Swapfest, which runs from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the company’s headquarters on North Route 45 in Effingham, IL.

For those looking to sell their own collections, 20' x 20' exhibit spaces are available for $40 each, unlimited spaces available. Anyone wishing to sell a vehicle at the Swapfest "Car for Sale Corral" can do so for a nonrefundable fee of $25 per vehicle. Exhibitor set up will begin at 7:00 a.m.

Attendees can also purchase Mid America Motorworks' returned, scratched and discontinued merchandise at special discount prices, plus buy new parts and accessories with free ground shipping.

Mid America Motorworks holds a Spring and a Fall Swapfest every year. Fall Swapfest will be held on October 13th, 2007 and the next Spring Swapfest will be May 3, 2008
